BRICS Summit Delhi: As many as 26 trains have been cancelled and more than a dozen diverted in Delhi in view of the BRICS Leaders’ Summit being held in the national capital from September 11 to 13. Dozens of other trains will also face operational restrictions, including delays of up to 40 minutes.

Most of the cancelled services are EMU trains connecting Delhi with suburban areas such as Ghaziabad, Palwal and Shakurbasti. Several long-distance trains, including Rajdhani and other express services, have been diverted through alternative routes to avoid key sections in the Delhi railway network.

The Northern Railway has released a comprehensive train-handling plan for the Delhi Division to manage security arrangements and ensure the smooth movement of VVIPs and foreign delegations during the summit.

The operational changes include cancellations, diversions, short-originations, short-terminations and regulated running of trains. The restrictions will remain in effect during the summit period, with the impact varying by train and route.

Several EMU and MEMU services connecting Ghaziabad, Palwal, Shakurbasti and New Delhi have been cancelled. Long-distance trains, including Rajdhani services to Ranchi, Dibrugarh, Sealdah, Howrah and Bhubaneswar, have been diverted via alternate routes. Some trains will start or end at stations such as Ghaziabad, Sahibabad, Delhi Shahdara and Shakurbasti. Several express, superfast and Vande Bharat trains will also face 10–40 minute regulations across NCR, Palwal and Dudia sections. The Banaras-New Delhi Vande Bharat will face a 35-minute regulation over NCR.
